Yuhang Li

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), working in the Bio- and Nano-photonics Lab under the mentorship of Prof. Aydogan Ozcan. Before joining UCLA, I received my B.Eng. in Optical Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2021.

My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, computational imaging, and optical systems. I develop learning-based imaging and perception methods that jointly optimize physical hardware and computational algorithms, spanning computer vision, image processing, optical-digital co-design, and hardware-in-the-loop optimization. My work includes machine-centric imaging, computational imaging, optical neural networks, generative models, and reinforcement-learning-based optimization of physical systems.

My work has been published in journals including Nature, Science, Light: Science & Applications, Advanced Photonics, Nature Communications, and Science Advances, and has been cited over 1,300 times (h-index: 18).
